January Art Walk

Afraid that I wouldn’t be able to leave my warm apartment if I stopped there, I headed out to the art walk right after getting off the bus. As a reminder, Art in the Park doesn’t happen January through March (something I had forgotten and was disappointed about).

It was cold and dark and occurring only two weeks after Christmas, not too many people were out in the neighborhood. After stopping by one of my favorite Pioneer Square stores (Fireworks) — I headed over to the studio opening for Tiffany Colors. She was recently featured in Seattle Magazine for her new “flexible space [that] will play host to revolving artist displays, including framed art and jewelry, as well as act as a private salon.”

By the time I arrived, her studio was already full of people mingling, looking at jewelry and art and using the photo booth (hosted by local photographer Sarah Rhoades).

The 900 sq ft studio is available for rent/hire for photographers, videographers, graphic designers, art shows, etc. They have a lot of studio amenities available, including the one thing you can’t get anywhere else — the amazing atmosphere of a historic Pioneer Square building. Contact info is as follows: info@tccreativestudio.com or www.tccreativestudio.com

On my way out of the building, I came across another studio that hosted art by Teesha and Tracy Moore. Not only did they have intricate art journals you could look through, but they also had lomo cameras and other unique art supplies for sale. Not being particularly artistic, I’m always excited to see art happening live:

Although there is an obvious “Art Walk” absence with the loss of the 619 building, it is inspiring to see other studios popping up and sharing their talents with the rest of us.
